you are so lame. people like this album for its musical merits. yet everyone on this list is slagging it for these vague sellout mainstream blah blah bullshit ideas. honestly, what a fucking waste of email.

this is the best part - that somehow other people using a theremin is cool but when radiohead do it the technique becomes some sort of strategy towards hipness that they're employing ... god! think about it, man! or is it that you resent the lack of success that more obscure artists have found when they've employed techniques which, in this instance, have further contributed to radiohead's press coverage and record sales? at any rate you aren't evaluating music and success in any sort of rational way. - jordan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
